Eli5: How and why does beer armour work?

602 views

We’ve all seen people either personally or in videos taking a pretty serious tumble while drunk. Why do they seem to be able to get back up seemingly unhurt? I mean from personal experience I know that falling while drunk may not hurt at the time but it should of. What makes us seemingly impervious to pain whilst drunk?
Thanks!

Alcohol is a pain killer. This is one of the ways that alcohol effects the nerve system as it inhibits nerve activity.
